Shana is a very likable character for me, having the clear loli traits and the spunky attitude. i believe my favorite scene may have been her verbally beating the shit out of her teachers.
This, however, was the only thing that the show did for me. I didn't like the enemies, and they're attacks were far too cliche-natured. Shana slashing them to bits was not nearly as epic as I had hoped it would be. I went into this anime with very high expectations.
They left several things left unexplained (which I hope are addressed in the second season), and many things just seemed too convenient for plot and threw me off a bit.
I liked the first Opening, but not the second. No real opinion on the Endings.
~de arimasu gets on my nerves.
I like the romance angle between Shana and Yuji, but as in several of Kugimiya's other loli roles, I can't see it going anywhere... ever. She's always so impulsive and vengeful.
The Shanatan and Hecatan specials did nothing for me. I am still disturbed by Yuji's (implied) masturbation scene. They just threw that in there for the lolz i suppose.
The only arc I actually loved was the one with Khamshin in it. He was badass, but he only attacked once and then we never saw him again.

So, with this I am ready to move on to something else. Given my personal review of the series, do you guys think that I would enjoy the second season enough to want to watch it? It would have to make up for a lot that the first season lacked.

Pretty much I have the same opinion about the first season.Too boring and I even skipped the episodes with Shana's past...
So all in all,I haven't begun watching any eps from 2nd season.Maybe if it gets finished I'll give it a try...but still not in my plans.

Would agree...the first season I liked, but parts were a little slow. 2nd season first few school life/relationship episodes are REALLY slow, but decent. Then, it's like someone decided to make up for all the lack of character development and action, and did a damn fine job of it. But the question is, will it continue to do this, or are we in for an epic fail ending? I really hope they do a season 3 :I

For God's love, how can they make such great episodes?
Ep22 had everything: comedy, romance, drama, suspence... ^^

Spoiler :

I died from laughing there.

About the story progression:

Spoiler :

This season is getting more and more awesome. Such a pain waiting an entire week again. T_T
And it's also heartbreaking to know that there are only 2eps left (at least for this season, /me hopes for a lot more once the novels give enough material^^).

I thought that it was plainly obvious from season one that Wilhemina was in a love triangle involving that Rainbow Wing M- Shiro whatever and the previous Flame Haze.

I'm mad... My local comic store (sells manga) is moving to a diff place in town so it's closed right now so I can't get another volume of Shakugan no Shana....

lol playing through the Shana visual novel game on the DS, have nfi whats going on but that tomogara from the start of season 2 seems to play a bigger role here, the RPG style battle when all the dialogue is done is pretty awesome though =D
